Day 20: Second chances that are worth it!

Maurício was in the UPG Sponsoring
Programme in Escolinha do André, in Xai-Xai. In 2014, he was removed from the
programme because he was not attending school as he was supposed to. By the end
of 2015, ALG was very happy to know that Maurício did not give up studying and
was attending a 2-year Technical Course on Laboratory Techniques in Chicumbane.
Because he went back to school ALG gave Maurício a second chance
as a scholarship holder and helped him again in his studies. Thanks to the
Cascais City Hall, it was possible to finance his school material expenditures
and transportation. Maurício has had great results, he has an average
grade of 16, and is now undergoing an internship in Macia’s Health Centre. We
are thrilled for giving him this opportunity and so proud of his achievements,
mainly because he’s also helping the ones in need!

ALG university and technical
scholarships provide dedicated underprivileged youngsters like Maurício the
chance of concluding their university studies.

In 2016 ALG supported 11 dedicated and committed students and helped
them to fulfil their dreams in the degrees of Law,
Accounting, Engineering and Mineral Processing, Engineering and Food Processing
and School Management and Administration. ALG Scholarships make dreams
come true and change lives for ever.
